Abstract
A system delivers game-specific data via a network from a database to a home scoreboard, which displays the data to its user. In response to receiving an order linked to the home scoreboard via the network from a network-connected device, the system retrieves the data from a database and transmits the data to the home scoreboard in real-time. Upon receiving the data, the display configures the display to display the data in real-time. The home scoreboard has a transparent fascia that covers the display, while allowing its display fields to be visible to its user. The home scoreboard also has a light source that illuminates in response to receiving data indicative of a specified game event.
